To start with the second part of your question -- no, it won't.  See 
www.boost-consulting.com/boost for what 1.34 is going to look like.

As for the first part of your quesion -- it's much more difficult to answer. 
Any prediction I heard in the past has been missed badly.  Just consider 
that Boost consists of over 60 independently-maintained libraries, that are 
tested against over 20 platforms that are currently considered mandatory. 
The first step in each release is to eliminate all the failures (or to admit 
that some of them can't be resolved, and mark them as expected).  The 
regression tests are run daily for most platform, so the picture changes 
daily.  Unfortunately for most developers waiting for the regression results 
is the only way to figure out whether the particular fix worked, and whether 
or not anything else has been broken by this fix.  The last time I checked 
it was about 50 failures. Yo can monitor it by examining the "Boost 
regression notification" message, that is posted daily around 12pm ET at the 
boost developers list, or here:
